Edit what exactly?

That's neat.

I was able to edit those icons without a vpk editor... all I did was put my usb with all my psvita data in a pc windows 10 and went into folder options and unhide all hidden files and important hidden files that way I can see extracted vpk icons and live area graphics and simply open them in photoshop and change the colors or make them entirely different.

I didn't know a vpk editor program was needed since a vpk is just a renamed zip file from what i know of.

So, you could in theory change it back to .zip extension and extract it's contents?

Therefore access the graphics and edit them as you please?

Cool

Hey @cvskid , I want to take this a bit further, but I have to ask first do you know of the vita emulator PFBA (Portable final burn alpha)?
Anyhow, this emulator has built in shaders like scan lines, by using this VPK editing method is there a way to edit the scan lines? Or would I need to know .bin coding an hex editing?

@cvskid well, you'd have to make a zip of the data folder after modifying its files and change its extension to vpk.
but installing the vpk won't do anything, probably because of how the modified zip is encoded.
i could be wrong, but i don't think that using a zip will help much
